The Boys

In the late 2000s, Panini Deutschland brought Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's brutally satirical superhero saga to German readers with The Boys (2007–2013). This 13-issue series follows a covert CIA team tasked with keeping the world's corrupt, celebrity-like superheroes in check, offering a darkly comedic and violent deconstruction of the genre. As a key work from Ennis and Robertson, it stands as a sharp, essential commentary on power and celebrity in comics.
